Standing Waves on Transmission Lines and VSWR Measurements

The article discusses the behavior of voltage and current waves on a transmission line with different types of loads and explains how to measure the VSWR of an antenna.

Hi-Pot Test Current, Leakage Current and Insulation Resistance

Can the hi-pot test and the insulation resistance test be combined into a single measurement? Let’s discuss each of these parameters as circuit parameters and as safety parameters.

Audio Rectification and TDMA/GSM EMI

Audio rectification is a common EMI problem in which high-frequency RF signals interfere with low-frequency audio circuits, producing audible noise or distortion. This article explains the causes of audio rectification, demonstrates TDMA/GSM effects on speakers, and offers practical EMI mitigation techniques for designers.

Addressing the Global Threat of EMP Events

Maintaining the resilience of all critical infrastructure segments, including the electric grid, sensitive data centers and vital communication channels, has become a growing concern globally as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events continue to threaten society and the operation of business and life as we know it.
